Hi Kylie. You can use a mobile phone on flash and macro (x1) supported by a pen light. But best to invest in a digital SLR camera with a focusable macro lens and ringlite illumination for the moths up close before you activate the flash if needed. UV led lights are best, but UV fluorescent tubes screwed into a screw ES2 nmount and powered by 240V on a lead from the house is a good robust serviceable solution. Buy the fluorescent UV tubes (50W available) at Bunnings in the 'bug control section. A battery light mounted on your head is also convenient. Specialist robust UV Led lights are also available online from Germany designed by an entomologist, but they're expensive. Your choice, it all depends how serious you are about wanting see your local moths!

Not sure, side on view would perhaps confirm , but we can't see two rows of white panels on the forewing from the side.

Phycitinae (subfamily)
